Abstract:
Employees who work in offices absolutely need water, for example to wash hands, to defecate, or other household needs. Water availability must be a concern of managers. But in fact, many officers pay less attention for this. They let a lot of water flows from the tank or reservoir that makes important water resources are wasted. This study aims to regulate the usage of water in office buildings so that water needs for employees are always met. The system was built by three tanks, one tank as the main water source called the central tank and two tanks as a reservoir of water that will be consumed by employees called tank1 and tank2. To measure the water level in the tank, it will use an ultrasonic sensor. If the water in the central tank has reached the minimum capacity length from the surface of the water to the sensor (≥ 20 cm), the tank manager will receives an SMS that indicates the water in the central tank is not available and needs to be refill. Tank 1 and tank 2 are filled automatically by activating the pump and opening the solenoid valve when the water is less than the maximum limit set (> 5 cm). The results showed that the system was able to send an SMS to the tank manager when the water level had reached the minimum limit with an 7.39 seconds of average delivery time. Tank 1 and tank 2 can be returned off when the water level reaches the 5 cm limit. The average success rate of filling water in tank1 was 98.46% and tank2 was 97.32%.

Abstract:
This system aims to design and develop a prototype of an automatic system for cleaning domestic cylindrical water tanks. The proposed system includes a simple mechanism with centrifugal force. Household water tanks are supposed to provide safe water for cleaning, gardening, cooking, and drinking. The majority of the time water coming into the tank comes with dust and dirt particles. Over time, sludge or sediment may build up, contaminate water and cause illnesses in humans like diarrhea, cholera, amebiasis, typhoid, and gastroenteritis. Tank cleaning is necessary since the mud, dust, and dirt entering through water may settle at the bottom of the tank, leading to the formation of algae, and salt deposits that disturb the quality of water and hamper the flow of water through a pipe. It has been observed that the methods to clean water tanks are manual and a person needs to enter the tank to clean it. The water has to be drained out before handed, hence it is a tough and time taking task due to which cleaning of tanks gets postponed. If the tank is overhead, then it creates more problems for cleaning the tank. The benefits of this system are reduced human effort and time, avoiding exposure to chemicals that influence the health of a person entering the water tank for cleaning and reduced wastage of water.

Abstract:
Tank irrigation is important in agriculture-dependent developing economies such as India. Since tank water is a common pool resource, managing tanks cost-effectively through collective action (CA) is a challenge. This notion raises the following principal questions on the tank commons: What is the relationship between transaction costs (that is, cost of cooperation) and CA? And what drive the use of tank water for irrigation? For satisfactory answers, we carried out field studies on 127 farmers of seven tank villages in the districts of Bardhaman and West Midnapore in West Bengal, India between September 2015 and May 2017. Interesting findings have emerged from our study. We notice that CAs are inversely correlated with transaction costs in the study sites. Regarding the factors influencing tank water use (WU) we find based on Logit models that CA matters in WU significantly and positively. This impact of CA on WU is also robust irrespective of the model specifications. However, low income households participate more by offering labour than money but unfortunately they seem to have no primary motives for tank reconstruction. Moreover, in communities where tanks are large, local people’s participation more in terms of labour and such participation in reconstruction of the tanks is their primary motive, and also where the institutional arrangements are both formal and informal, people tend to use tank water more. The practical implication is that the absence of Water User Association and hence proper collaborative management coupled with weak nestedness between the village people and the State is one of the major causes of inadequate tank WU, leading to the decline of the tank commons.

Abstract:
We investigated the quality of treated drinking water in Aida Camp and Alazzah Camp, two Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank. Water supply in the two camps is intermittent: Water deliveries are first stored in a centrally located community tank before being pumped through distribution networks to users, who then store the water in rooftop tanks. Between March 2016 and June 2017, we examined water quality within the distribution system in the camps, testing 520 samples in Aida Camp and 198 samples in Alazzah Camp for total coliforms, Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, and residual chlorine. We observed deterioration in water quality in both camps, but the deterioration was more pronounced in Aida Camp where 2.5% of community-tank samples, 5.0% of network samples, and 10% of rooftop-tank samples contained one or more colonies (per 100 mL) of total coliform bacteria. In Alazzah Camp, 3.7% of community-tank samples, 2.5% of network samples, and 5% rooftop-tank samples contained one or more colonies (per 100 mL) of total coliform bacteria. E. coli was detected in two samples from Aida Camp and one sample from Alazzah Camp. In both camps, average residual chlorine concentrations were higher in the community tanks than in rooftop tanks. The main factor influencing water quality deterioration in rooftop tanks in Aida Camp appears to be air temperature. We recommend more systematic water testing in the camps and greater transparency in reporting test results to camp residents.

Abstract:
Most of the individuals in residential areas experience the problem of running out of water and overflow tanks. It becomes more difficult for the consumer to gauge the amount of water in the tank. When the pump is ON, the user will not realize that the water tank is filled, which may result in an overflow. Auto water pump switch is used to troubleshoot problems with the water tank. The consumer can use this technology to fill an empty tank without having to take any effort. When the tank is empty, the system automatically turns ON, and when the tank is filled, it automatically turns OFF. Water is not wasted with this technique

Abstract:
It was discovered that reinforced concrete elevated water tanks with frame staging outperformed reinforced concrete elevated water tanks with shaft staging in terms of seismic resistance. These can be due to the frame staging's seismic energy absorption capability. As a result, the primary goal of this research is to better understand the seismic behavior and performance characteristics of elevated water tanks with frame staging. Furthermore, when compared to other shapes, circular tanks have the smallest surface area for a given tank size. As a result, the amount of material needed for a circular water tank is less than for other shapes. As a result, a circular water tank was chosen, and seismic analysis of elevated RC circular water tanks was carried out according to IITK-GSDMA guidelines, with the behavior of the water tank analysed for various parameters such as zone factor, soil condition, and different staging heights. SAP 2000 was used to determine the structure's modal characteristics (mode shapes and modal participation mass ratio).

Abstract:
An experimental study on countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) in vertical pipes is carried out. Effects of upper tank geometry and water levels in the upper and lower tanks on CCFL characteristics are investigated for air-water two-phase flows at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The following conclusions are obtained: (1) CCFL characteristics for different pipe diameters are well correlated using the Kutateladze number if the tank geometry and the water levels are the same; (2) CCFL occurs at the junction between the pipe and the upper tank both for the rectangular and cylindrical tanks, and CCFL with the cylindrical tank occurs not only at the junction but also inside the pipe at high gas flow rates and small pipe diameters; (3) the flow rate of water entering into the vertical pipe at the junction to the rectangular upper tank is lower than that to the cylindrical tank because of the presence of low frequency first-mode sloshing in the rectangular tank; (4) increases in the water level in the upper tank and in the air volume in the lower tank increase water penetration into the pipe, and therefore, they mitigate the flow limitation.

Abstract:
Water has enormous benefits in daily life; quality and quantity maintained are required to be always ensured. In Indonesia, Bandung, many people keep clean water supplies in water tanks. The habit appeared as the result of their dependency on groundwater. However, some people also have already been connected to the government's water pipeline network, but they still need to have clean water tanks for prevention. The tanks need regular maintenances to ensure the stored water remains clean. When the tanks are rarely cleaned, moss appears, clogging the water pipe. The manual process of monitoring water conditions has several weaknesses, such as needing expert staff, taking more extended time, having a greater possibility of errors, and not presenting and neatly storing documentation. This paper aims to implement a water turbidity warning system in tanks and an IoT-based scheduling system for cleaning water tanks. The system will be implemented at several points of the house or water tank and can transmit data in real-time either alternately or simultaneously. The sensor detects water turbidity, and the microprocessor control unit node is in charge of processing the sensor reading data to calibrate and classify the turbidity level. Water turbidity values and levels are sent to Firebase, which resides in the cloud. The information from Firebase is passed and displayed on the application. The turbidity level of water was categorized into three: clean, turbid, and dirty. Managers, as the service providers, and consumers can monitor the tank's condition with a warning in the form of an indicator when the tank must be cleaned.

Abstract:
Microwave engineers and geomorphologists require rainfall data with a much greater temporal resolution and a better representation of the numbers of large raindrops than is available from current commercial instruments. This thesis describes the development of an acoustic instrument that determines rain parameters from the sound of raindrops falling into a tank of water. It is known as the acoustic water tank disdrometer (AWTD).There is a direct relationship between the kinetic energy of a raindrop and the acoustic energy generated upon impact. Rain kinetic energy flux density (KE) is estimated from measurements of the sound field in the tank and these have been compared to measurements from a co-sited commercial disdrometer.Furthermore, using an array of hydrophones it is possible to determine the drop size and impact position of each raindrop falling into the tank. Accumulating the information from many impacts allows a drop size distribution (DSD) to be calculated.Eight months of data have been collected in the eastern UK. The two methods of parameter estimation are developed and analysed to show that the acoustic instrument can produce rain KE measurements with a one-second integration times and DSDs with accurate large drop-size tails.

Abstract:
The thesis assignment was to build a PID control that was able to control two tanks of water. The system had to be capable of read a certain value, the value that we speak is the high of the water. There for, the system should fill the corresponding tank with water, of course, until the high that was chosen. A PID control uses tree essentials values to be able to control with precision, they are usually called: P, I and D. These values can be found by applying some procedures; in this thesis two procedures were applied. So at the end, we get two values for each constant (PID). In this thesis these two values are compared in order to choose which method was the accurate.

Abstract:
Detta examensarbete har genomförts i samarbete med Coffee Queen AB i Arvika för att ta fram ett konstruktionsunderlag för en förbättrad vattentank. Tidigare var tanken tillverkad i rostfritt stål, men för att minska kostnaderna var företaget intresserade av att ta fram en konstruktion i plast. Vattentanken, som sitter i en färskbryggande kaffemaskin, kokar vattnet som sedan blandas med kaffe, te eller choklad. Den första delen av examensarbetet bestod i att ta reda på vilken tillverkningsmetod som är lämpligast att använda. Efter en inledande undersökning inom området bestämdes det att formsprutning var den bästa tillverkningsmetoden då vattentankens form är relativt komplex. Det var även den billigaste metoden, då totalpriset fördelas över totalt 48 000 detaljer som ska tillverkas de kommande åtta åren. Den andra delen av examensarbetet bestod i att utveckla ett konstruktionsunderlag för Coffee Queens fortsatta utvecklingsarbete. Områdena som ingick i konstruktionsunderlaget var verktygslösningen , förslutningen av locket, avtappningsrören, överfyllnadsskyddet, kallvatteninloppet , nivåsensorn samt elkabeldragningen . En omfattande litteraturstudie genomfördes tillsammans med ett antal studiebesök och intervjuer hos plasttillverkande företag. Koncept utvecklades och utvärderades för alla ovan nämnda områden och sattes sedan samman till en slutgiltig helhetslösning samt rekommendationer. Den slutgiltiga helhetslösningen som valdes av författarna bestod av en plasttank och ett plastlock. Tanken ska tillverkas i ett vertikalt verktyg med alla avtappningsrör på framsidan samt med en packning som är spänd runt kanten på tanken. Både överfyllnadsskyddet och kallvatteninloppet består av enkla rör av plast på framsidan av tanken. Snäppfästena och nivåsensorn integreras i plastlocket, vilket gör att flera komponenter kan uteslutas samt att monteringen blir enklare. Elkabelhålen är rundade och termostaten är roterat 90 ° . Denna konstruktion anses vara det bästa valet då det är enklast, billigast och snabbast att montera. Det är rekommenderat att testa ett plastlock innan det används för att ta reda på hur bra plasten tål värmen. De integrerade plastsnäppfästena måste också testas med avseende på värmetålighet.
This Master of Science thesis has been carried out in collaboration with Coffee Queen AB in Arvika, Sweden, to develop a construction basis for an improved water tank. From the beginning, the water tank was manufactured in metal. To reduce the costs, the company was interested in a plastic construction. The water tank, which is located inside a fresh brewing coffee machine, is used to boil water which later is mixed with coffee, tea or chocolate. The first part of the project was to find out which manufacturing method to use. After some research in the area, it was decided to use injection moulding since the water tank is relatively complex. Also, it was the cheapest method since the total cost is divided over the production of 48 000 details in the coming eight years. The second part of the project was to develop a construction basis for Coffee Queen to use in further development. Areas included in the construction basis was the tool solution, the water tank construction , the sealing of the tank, the outlet pipes, the overfilling protection, the cold water inlet , the level indicator and the electrical cables . An extensive literature study was made together with a number of company visits at plastic manufacturing companies. Concepts were developed and evaluated for all of the mentioned areas above and then put together into a final choice and recommendations. The final choice of the authors consists of a plastic tank and a plastic lid. The tank should be made in a vertical tool with all outlet pipes in the front and the gasket stretched around the top edge of the tank. Both the over filling protection and the cold water inlet are plain pipes sticking out on the front of the tank. The snap fasteners and the level indicator are integrated in the plastic lid, which excludes several components and makes the assembly easier. The cable holes are rounded and the thermostat has been rotated by 90 ° . This plastic construction is considered to be the best choice since it is the simplest, cheapest and fastest solution to assemble. It is recommended that to test a plastic lid before use to find out how well the plastic manages the heat. Also, heat testing of the integrated plastic snap fasteners has to be done.

Abstract:
Elevated water tanks are widely used to store water for drinking as well as for fire extinguishing purposes. After a severe earthquake, the need of water for drinking as well as fire control will increase dramatically. To ensure that water tanks remain functional after an earthquake, proper analysis method should be followed in order to calculate the response of a structure for earthquake. In this study, the lateral forces developed during earthquake are investigated from commercially available SAP2000 software and the results are compared with the 2006 edition of the ACI standard "Seismic Design of Liquid-Containing Concrete Structures and Commentary" (ACI 350.3-06). The elevated concrete tank is modeled for full, half-full and empty conditions. Linear modal time history analysis is performed using scaled ground motions. Three-directional ground motion records from five different earthquakes have been scaled to the design level and applied to the structure. Sloshing behavior of water inside the tank and the effect of vertical ground motion on the columns have been investigated. It is found that, vertical ground motions can increase the axial forces in columns by up to 20 %, and the ACI 350.3-06 design method is not always conservative. As seismic response depends on both the dynamic properties of the structure and the spectral characteristics of ground motions, more research is needed to understand and model the seismic response of elevated water tanks.

Abstract:
Melbourne, the capital of Victoria Australia leads the world in having the highest quality drinking water. The Victorian State Government has set targets for reducing per capita water consumption by 15%, 25% and 30% by 2010, 2015 and 2020 respectively and has announced stringent water restrictions to curtail water demand. In this resource constraint environment it is opportune to look for alternative sources of water to supplement Melbourne's traditional water supply. In Melbourne, legislation has been changed to make it possible to use rainwater harvested from domestic tanks for non potable purposes. The annual rainfall in Melbourne's metropolitan area varies from 450mm in the West to 850mm in the East to over 1000mm in the North East mountain ranges. The objectives of the current study are to develop a methodology to estimate the optimal size of the rainwater tank at a particular location considering the local rainfall, roof area, demand for water and the reliability of supply (supply security) required; to quantify the rainwater volume that could be harvested at site using domestic rainwater tanks to minimise pressure on the potable water supply secured from traditional catchment sources until the desalination plant is commissioned in 2013; to analyse the efficacy of rainwater tanks to reduce the stormwater runoff and improve the quality of the stormwater that will otherwise flow into urban drains and to estimate the cost effectiveness ratio and payback period of inst alling rainwater tanks. A simple water balance model was developed to calculate the tank size based on daily rainfall, roof area and the expected demand. The concept of 'reliability' was introduced to measure supply security. Rainfall data from 20 rainfall stations scattered around Melbourne were used to determine the variation in the rainwater tank size dependent on the above stated parameters. It was observed that to achieve the same supply reliability (90%) and to meet a specific demand (toilet and garden use), the tank size required in the western side of Melbourne is as high as 7 times as that required in the north-east side.

New regulations concerning the management of underground storage tanks (USTs) have resulted in increased awareness of environmental contamination resulting from leaking USTs. The objective of the typical underground storage tank investigation is to determine if any subsurface contamination has occurred as a result of tank or product line leakage, fuel spills or overfills. Soil contamination at underground storage tank sites is usually discovered during the removal and replacement of USTs. Techniques that can be used to detect the presence of soil contamination adjacent to existing USTs include soil vapor analysis, exploratory boring, and soil and ground water sampling. The lateral and vertical extent of contamination must be determined at any site which contains detectable quantities of contamination. Two common methods for determining the extent of contamination are over-excavation and borehole drilling and sampling. Boring design and location considerations include number of borings, borehole depth and spacing, and site sub -surface conditions. Differentiation between perched sub -surface water and aquifers is critical. Once an appropriate boring plan has been established, then a sampling and analysis plan must be adopted that meets the needs of the particular investigation. The determination of the extent of contamination at an underground storage tank site is the first step leading to site closure and remediation.

Remedial techniques for sub-surface soil and water contamination are dependent on the lateral and vertical extent of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination and the type of petroleum hydrocarbons which have been released into the sub-surface. Specific remedial technologies are required for diesel fuel and heavy oils compared to the more volatile gasoline compounds. Available remedial technologies for vadose zone contamination include excavation and treatment; soil vapor extraction and possible vapor burning; bioremediation; and chemical treatment. Remedial technologies for ground-water contamination include water recovery, contaminant volatilization, carbon adsorption, bioremediation and water reinjection. Specialized apparatuses are utilized when petroleum hydrocarbon product floating on the water table surface must be separated from the ground water. A number of hydrologic considerations must be evaluated prior to any remediation scenario. These considerations include geologic characterization of the sub-surface soil matrix, and aquifer.

Abstract:
Most of the storage systems available on the market use water as storage medium. Enhancing the storage performance is necessary to increase the performance of most systems. The stratification phenomenon is employed to improve the efficiency of storage tanks. Heat at an intermediate temperature, not high enough to heat up the top layer, can still be used to heat the lower, colder layers. There are a lot of parameters to study the stratification in a water tank such as the Mix Number and the Richardson Number among others. The idea studied here was to use these stratification parameters to compare two tanks with the same dimensions during charging and discharging processes. One of them is a traditional water tank and the other is a PCM-water (a water tank with a Phase Change Material). A PCM is good because it has high energy density if there is a small temperature change, since then the latent heat is much larger than the sensible heat. On the other hand, the temperature change in the top layer of a hot water store with stratification is usually small as it is held as close as possible at or above the temperature for usage. In the system studied the Phase Change Material is placed at the top of the tank, therefore the advantages of the stratification still remain. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that the use of PCM in the upper part of a water tank holds or improves the benefit of the stratification phenomenon.

Full text
Abstract:
The relevant issue with monitoring and measuring ship performance is the measurement of speed through the water. In 2016 an ADCP was mounted on a US Navy ship for the purposes of a hull monitoring program. At the onset of the program a baseline trial was completed to both determine the clean hull performance of the ship and the performance of the ADCP on a surface ship. The trial included completing reciprocals using standard calculations and ’triangles’ using more advanced calculations to calculate speed through the water. The results from the ADCP, maneuvers, EMLog, and surface based HFRadar corrections are compared in this report and examined for agreement and repeatability. The ADCP performed successfully showing strong agreement and repeatability though strong concerns still exist for long term viability. The EMLog was found to have issues beyond calibration offsets. The surface based HFRadar appears to be a passable correction method that may be of more benefit for measurement of ship maneuvers. The new method for analyzing GPS/INS speed over the ground data presented in this report is shown to have good agreement with the ADCP with the added advantage over the classic calculation by generating an associated uncertainty with the speed.

Abstract:
When conducting model tests in a water tank, available model sizes and wave conditions are determined for each tank, depending on measurement accuracy and tank specifications. For deep-water mooring of a floater, a mooring extent in model scale is presumably over 10 meters in depth, making it difficult to be conducted in small-sized tanks without mooring line truncation. The purpose of the research is to develop a device, which could be used as deep-water mooring system in small-sized tanks. Although the law of geometrical similarity is compelled to quit because of the line truncation, the law of mechanical similarity can be maintained by keeping the same restoring, damping and inertia characteristics as those of the full-scale mooring system obtained by numerical simulations. The mooring device consists of a cylinder, a piston, an orifice, springs, pulleys and weights. A spring attached to the mooring line is to generate required restoring force. The orifice, together with the piston, is to generate required damping forces. Inertia forces are generated by the motions of hanged weights, also by the motion of the fluid inside the cylinder. Even negative inertia forces can be given by adjusting natural frequencies of the weight-spring system. With all these examined elements, the mooring device works like the full-depth mooring system. Particulars of the elements of the device have been determined by numerical simulations of the floater moored in the full-depth condition. It has been confirmed that the mooring device behaves as expected in comparison with forced oscillation tests, where prescribed motions were given to the floater-side end point of the mooring line. A tank test has been conducted of a floater with a turret multipoint-moored with the devices and has been satisfactorily compared with numerical simulations of the full-depth system. With the present research it is verified that the mooring device can well simulate actual deep-water mooring system, which makes it possible for small water tanks to deal with deep water mooring experiments.

Abstract:
A technique is developed which allows, for the first time, many deep water mooring systems to be experimentally modelled In tanks previously considered too shallow. Special use is made of pertinent non-dimensional parameters which describe how to artificially adjust the models masses, stiffnesses and damping. We call this new technique "Bi-Scaling. Essentially the scale factor for the vessel Is allowed to be different than the scale factor for the mooring lines (and depth). A complete set of Bi-Scaling relations for the artificial adjustments is presented and experimental verification of the Bi-Scaling technique is carried out.

Full text
Abstract:
Open water tests of a surface piercing propeller with a pitch to diameter ratio of 1.9 have been performed in a non pressurized towing tank. Flow visualizations of the ventilated cavities formed behind the propeller and Shaft line force/torque measurements were taken at tip immersion ratios of 0.50 and 0.33, yaw angles from 0° to 30° and inclination angles from 0° to 15° for advance ratios ranging from 0.8 to 1.9. Three wake parameters, the wake pitch, wake pitch angle and wake diameter, were identified and semi-automatically measured using composite images of the wake of the surface piercing propeller. The symmetry of the wake at non zero yaw angles, as well as the time evolution of the width of successive ventilated cavities in the wake were explored. It was found that the wake pitch angle changes proportionally to the advance ratio and does not change significantly as yaw angle changes; the ratio of wake diameter to SPP diameter increases as the advance ratio decreases; and the wake was most symmetric at a depth of immersion of 33%, a yaw angle of 15 degrees, zero shaft inclination angle, and an advance ratio of 1.2. The SPP was found to operate in a fully ventilated condition for scaled advanced ratios of 0.905 – 0.721. Asix-componentt load cell was integrated with the rotating propeller shaft line to provide measurements of propeller thrust, torque, side forces and moments. An examination of the efficiencies determined from these measurements and subsequent analyses reveal that, while the thrust measurements are near values expected from empirical relations, there appears to be an error in the torque measurements, likely due to an instrumentation problem. Nevertheless, the time histories of the load cell data are instructive in qualitatively illustrating the relation between carriage speed, propeller speed and the transient forces/moments acting on the propeller.

Abstract:
To assess the impact of each bow design on motion and drag, two platform supply vessel models (PSV) of same parallel middle body and stern were tested in deep water regime on the Towing Tank of the Institute for Technological Research of the State of São Paulo (IPT). Calm water resistance was measured for different operating condition (draft and speed). One of the models was also tested in waves. Moreover, the same Towing Tank tests conditions were re-created in Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation and the results of resistance, sinkage and trim were compared to appraise the reliability of the simulation method. Seeking a competitive performance compared to Towing Tank tests, the simulations’ mesh size was kept below 5 million cells and executed on the software STAR-CCM+ using a multiphase model (VOF) and the K-Omega turbulence model. As expected, the desired performance was achieved while providing consistent outcomes as most cases reached resistance errors below 5%, with better adherence at lower speeds.

Full text
Abstract:
An icebreaker propulsion system has to be versatile in order to perform at optimum efficiency in all operating conditions. It must be economical when steaming in open water, and yet deliver large thrusts in the bollard condition. It must also withstand the loads imposed by the fee, which can be in the form of a steady load during tee milling, or a transient load due to tee impact. All these factors combine in a complicated manner, and physical model experiments are currently the best method available for studying the problem. An experiment program to predict the propulsive performance of an icebreaker must therefore address both the open water and icebreaking aspects, in an accurate and efficient manner. This paper discusses some techniques developed to predict the propulsive performance of large ice­breakers, using models in a refrigerated tee basin and a towing tank. It is based on some experiments recently carried out at the Institute for Marine Dynamics (IMO). in St. John's, Newfoundland and the results are used for illustration purposes throughout this paper.
